Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1577 Rose Noble from the City of Danzig (Polish States) is that it was countermarked with a small image of a castle, which was added to the coin as a security measure to prevent counterfeiting. This feature makes it stand out from other coins of the same era and adds to its unique historical significance.
